Module::CPANTS - CPAN Module Testing

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Module::CPANTS;
  my $c = Module::CPANTS->new();
  my $cpants = $c->data;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is an initial stab at providing automated testing metrics for the
modules on CPAN. Alpha release and all that. It's just out there to
test the waters.

CPANTS was initially described by Michael Schwern a long time ago in:
http://archive.develooper.com/perl-qa@perl.org/msg00148.html
It is highly recommended that you read that.

The idea is to have automated module testing reporting back all sorts
of metadata about the modules on CPAN.

The current interface is a large hash. The keys in the hash are
distributions. For example, the information available for
Acme-Colour-0.20.tar.gz is accessible using:

  my $dist = 'Acme-Colour-0.20.tar.gz';
  my $data = $cpants->{$dist};

The actual information currently returned is as follows:

  'Acme-Colour-0.20.tar.gz' => {
    'author' => 'LBROCARD',
    'description' => 'additive and subtractive human-readable colours',
    'files' => [
      'Makefile.PL',
      'README',
      'MANIFEST'
    ],
    'lines' => {
      'nonpod' => 170,
      'pod' => 95,
      'pod_errors' => 0,
      'total' => 265,
      'with_comments' => 8,
    },
    'releases' => '5',
    'requires' => [
      'Graphics-ColorNames-0.32.tar.gz',
      'Scalar-List-Utils-1.11.tar.gz',
      'Test-Simple-0.47.tar.gz'
    ],
    'requires_module' => {
      'Graphics::ColorNames' => 0,
      'List::Util' => 0,
      'Test::Simple' => 0
    },
    'requires_recursive' => [
      'File-Spec-0.82.tar.gz',
      'Graphics-ColorNames-0.32.tar.gz',
      'Scalar-List-Utils-1.11.tar.gz',
      'Test-Harness-2.28.tar.gz',
      'Test-Simple-0.47.tar.gz'
    ],
    'size' => {
      'packed' => 3883,
      'unpacked' => 13078
    },
    'testers' => {
      'fail' => 1,
      'pass' => 5
    },
    'uses' => [
      'Graphics::ColorNames',
      'List::Util',
      'strict',
      'vars'
    ]
  }

The "author" field is the PAUSE ID of the author of the distribution.

The "description" field is the description listed in the CPAN modules
list for the distribibution.

The "lines" field shows the number of POD lines (documentation),
number of POD errors reported by Pod::Simple::Checker, non-POD lines
(code), lines with comments, and total lines in all the modules in a
distribution.

The "files" field is a listref containing interesting files which were
found. The following files are deemed interesting at the moment: 
Makefile.PL, README, Build.PL, META.yml, SIGNATURE, MANIFEST.

The "releases" field contains the total number of releases to CPAN
that distribution has.

The "requires_module" field is a hashref containing the module
prerequisites listed in the Makefile.PL for the distribution.

The "requires" field is a listref containing all the distributions
containing the module prerequisite listed in the Makefile.PL for the
distribution.

The "requires_recursive" is the same as "requires" but lists the
recursive dependencies. This should be all the distributions that the
distribution needs to run.

The "size" contains two fields: the packed and unpacked size of the
distribution in bytes.

The "testers" field contains the number of passes and fails reported
by the CPAN testers (http://testers.cpan.org/).

More data is to be added soon. A kwalitee rating may be added soon.

Note that CPANPLUS is very useful for relating modules to
distributions.
